Comments: Known from Maeklong to Bang Pakong basins (Ref. 58784). Recorded from Chao Phraya basin (Ref. 28024); Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Nakhon Sawan, Chai Nat and Kanchanaburi (Ref. 37773). Occurrence in the Mekong River and its tributaries (Ref. 9648, 37773) needs confirmation (Ref. 28024). Controlled reproduction for the ornamental fish trade (Ref. 6459). It is not clear whether the species still exists in the wild (Ref. 12217). Threatened due to habitat loss and overfishing (Ref. 58784). Also Ref. 26580.

Size / Peso / Age

Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 13.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 118477)

Inhabits mainstream rivers and floodplains (Ref. 58784). Omnivorous, feeding on plant matter and small benthic animal (Ref. 58784). Tens of thousands of specimens are exported annually from Thailand for the ornamental trade, all now captive bred (Ref. 12217). Aquarium keeping: solitary, adults are territorial and may 'bully' other fish; minimum aquarium size 12.0 cm (Ref. 51150).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00339 - 0.01546), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.34 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
